England into Cup quarter-final at Sydney 7s

England Sevens will face Argentina in the Cup quarter-final at the HSBC World Rugby Sevens series in Sydney after finishing second in Pool C.

Following on from their 22-10 win over Spain on day one, England were in complete control against Papua New Guinea as they won 35-5 and then faced world champions South Africa but went down 12-33.

England now move to the knockout phase of the competition in Sydney and will face Argentina on day three, which kicks off on Sunday at 1.34am GMT live on Sky Sports Action.

Mitch the man

There was disappointment at the start of day two as Alex Davis was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with an ankle injured sustained against Spain, a game where he scored two tries, with Ryan Olowofela coming into the squad to make his World Series debut.

However, England, in the first match of the day at Allianz Stadium, got into their stride quickly and captain Tom Mitchell and Dan Bibby crossed after Papua New Guinea were down a man following a yellow card.

Following South Africa's fourth, Dan Bibby's grubber and gather got England back in the game and although they pressured the men in green on a number of occasions, they were unable to cross and Senatla scored a breakaway try to secure the win.

"That was a fantastic 12-man effort as we've got guys playing out of position, but as soon as they're on the field they're putting that effort in," said Phil Burgess.

"This stands us in good stead for tomorrow as the guys have got some good minutes across the board."
